#sea sheep

[pixierainbows]

These are sea sheep! They're a lovely type of sacoglossan sea slug. They eat algae, and then keep the algae within themselves. The algae gets a safe home, and in return, the sea sheep gets energy. I love these creatures so much and wanted to share. Hope Pixie enjoys and also has a great day.

those be absolutely most adorable creatures Pixie ever see thank you so much for share

Leaf-shaped sea slug (adorable) is canonically significantly stronger than 7-foot goat lady (still more adorable).

Meet the Sea Sheep. Costasiella kuroshimae—also known as a "leaf slug", "leaf sheep", or "salty ocean caterpillar"—is a species of sacoglossan sea slug. They range in size from 5 mm to 1 cm.  "Shaun the Sheep" is what many divers in the Philippines affectionately call them.

I didn't even know they were a thing.

Sorry for not posting any art today.

Instead, let me make up for it by showing you this marvelous creature. <3

In case you don't know what it is, they are Costasiella Kuroshimae, also known as leaf slugs or as I like to call them, ✨sea sheep✨

These lil guys grow up to around an inch and the green leaf-shaped things on their backs (called cerata) are a result of photosynthesis, and are similar to succulents such as aloe vera. And yes, the two little black dots are its eyes.

Not a lot is known about them since they were only found in 1993, but their conservation status is Least Concern.

Please let me know if any of this is incorrect, I don't want to be spreading misinformation by mistake! :)

Someone said my sea sheep/sea slug art would work as a pokemon and...I think it could if you actually did some design clean up so I took a quick crack at it.
